    I just purchased a 2.4GHz antenna for my son's room. Running draft-N, he went from no signal to full signal.

    If you're using a laptop, you might be SOL because laptops with built-in wireless and/or PC cards rarely have an external antenna jack.

    If you're using a desktop with a PCI wireless card, you can unscrew the provided antenna and replace it with a wired on to see if you can get a better signal.
